Description:
Bertuzzi Orione 16 Gauge SxS Shotgun
MUFFOLINI ENGRAVED, AS NEW, THE BEST!
General Specs: Bertuzzi, Year 2004, 16 Gauge, 5lbs 14oz, Side by Side
Serial Number: 6108
The Bertuzzi brothers learned gun making from their father and his father before him. Making only 10-15 guns a year, mostly by hand, each one is a work of art and amongst the very best shotguns the world has ever seen. That is not my opinion, but that of almost every gun guru the world over. Every detail screams "BEST GUN!!!", with the finest mechanics, aesthetics, and handling dynamics to bring you true one-of-a-kind perfection in a useable work of art. The Bertuzzi brothers went out on their own in 1976 after the death of their grandfather, and made guns into approximately 2008 when they closed up shop. Of course, with so few made overall, and the world wide respect for their work, the guns have become very valuable, usable works of art. This gun, serial number 6108 built in 2004, is no exception. The Orione is considered to be the finest, round bodied, boxlock shotgun ever created. All internal parts are highly polished and precisely fit for the utmost of reliability and durability. The 28" barrels are the finest steel, chopper lump barrels available. The full blown exhibition circassian Turkish walnut stocks are fitted to the action with perfection, possibly the most beautiful wood I have witnessed, checkered 32 lines per inch, heel and toe plates, awesome dimensions, just fabulous. The receiver is engraved with deep chiseled, deep relief, open style engraving by Muffolini, one of the world's most admired Italian engravers, with a family of woodcock bulino engraved to perfection. At 5lbs. 14oz. and balanced dead on the hinge pin it is a delight to the eye and hand. NONE FINER...GORGEOUS. A great investment quality shotgun, with no more ever to be produced, this is a gun that will stun every new looker. Maybe the most beautiful shotgun I have ever seen. Maker's case included. ALL AS NEW.
